Congress 114th
Date Requested Feb. 12, 2015
Requested By House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
Date Sent March 2, 2015
Description:

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs on February 12, 2015

H.R. 294 would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide long-term care in medical foster homes (MFHs) for certain veterans with severe service-connected disabilities. The bill also would limit the awards and bonuses paid to VA employees. On net, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would reduce discretionary costs by $253 million over the 2016-2020 period, subject to appropriation action consistent with the bill.

Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.

H.R. 294 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.
